Orlando Bloom swapping ex-wives with Australian billionaire

When Orlando Bloom isn't trying to put a dent in Justin Bieber's pretty face, he seems to be playing ex-wife swap with an Australian billionaire.

His life sounds almost as interesting as mine.

The actor was spotted playing on the beach Thursday with Australian singer Erica Packer on the Mediterranean isle of Formentera, according to the New York Post. Packer is the ex-wife of billionaire James Packer, who is reportedly involved with Bloom's former wife, supermodel Miranda Kerr.

Sounds like a wacky 1970s romantic comedy starring Elliot Gould.

As you know, Bloom spent some quality time earlier this week trying to punch Bieber in the face at a club in Ibiza, Spain, after Bieber allegedly made a nasty remark about Kerr.

Bloom doesn't care much for Bieber, after rumors flew a couple years ago that Bieber was flirting with Kerr at a Victoria's Secret fashion show, when Bloom and Kerr were still married.

Bieber fled the Ibiza club shortly after the aborted brawl, and shortly afterward posted a picture of Kerr in a bikini, which he then deleted. Then, after promising to keep the peace -- or whatever -- the next day he posted a picture on Instagram of Bloom getting teary-eyed on a red carpet.

The Post quoted a source on Ibiza's party circuit saying "Everybody hates Justin."

Sounds like a wacky FOX sitcom.

Leonardo DiCaprio was with Bloom early Wednesday morning when the action went down, and reportedly clapped when Bloom took his bodyguard-deflected swing at Bieber.

"When Orlando punched Bieber, everyone started clapping. People were shouting, 'What a show! Justin and Orlando fighting.' It was amazing," Anastasia Skolkova, a model and journalist from Spain, reportedly told U.K. publication The Mirror.
